More about Shannon

  • 6 years' experience

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over six years of professional work experience as a Clinician. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have undergone extensive training in the outpatient setting.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges, most commonly issues pertaining to: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting, career challenges, self- esteem, confidence and trauma. I have experience in utilizing cognitive- behavioral therapy, trauma- focused cognitive behavioral therapy, trust- based relational interventions, parent- child interaction therapy, and motivational interviewing.

I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
